Examples
TextStyleAdd(“Plaid”;Italic) returns the word Plaid in italics.
TextStyleAdd(FirstName;Bold+Underline) returns Sophie in bold, underlined text when
the FirstName field contains Sophie.
The following calculation removes all styles from the text, then italicizes the entire phrase.
TextStyleAdd(TextStyleAdd(FirstName;Plain);Italic)
The following calculation creates two descriptions of styles, then concatenates two phrases using
these styles. Using the
Let function is an effective way to avoid creating a long and complex
TextStyleAdd statement.
Let([TitleStyle=Smallcaps+Titlecase;BodyStyle=Plain];
TextStyleAdd(titleField;titleStyle)&"¶¶" &
TextStyleAdd(bodyField;BodyStyle))
In the following example, to find every occurrence of several words and change their style, use the
Substitute function combined with the TextStyleAdd function.
Substitute(ArticleBody;[“Phrase1”;TextStyleAdd(“Phrase 1”;Italic)];[“Phrase 2”;TextStyleAdd(“Phrase
2”;Bold)];)
